Barnabas Ereyanayovwen, 32, a parishioner of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church Ughelli in Warri Diocese. Barnabas, a communicant, President of the Confraternity of the Block Rosary, a legionary, dedicated youth member and a devoted Catholic never wished to become blind in life. His lineage is of the Catholic as his grandfather was one of the founding Catechist in Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church Ughelli, Late Catechist James Erhue.
Just like every orphan, but circumstances has led him to his present predicament after an operation on his two eyes.
He was at a time residing with a priest of the Diocese of Warri, but after the priest went on further studies abroad, Baranabas returned to her aged grandmother who is 78 years as at now.
His grandmother, who is the only surviving member in his parental lineage is having serious difficulties catering for him. The only uncle responsible for all his expenses is a mere civil servant with family. Presently, it is biting hard on him as he just came out of Lilly Hospital in Warri spending a whooping sum of (N400,000).
When the situation was so tensed, the priest abroad also did all he could supporting the young man so that he will not go blind totally. But it is unfortunate that after leaving the hospital, the young man can no longer see nor walk on his own.
The only solution presently is a referral to ECWA hospital at Kano, but the family can no longer afford. They are calling on good spirited Catholics, friends and good Nigerians to come to their aids. The young Barnabas lost his mum just after one week after birth, and his father died when he was just 8 years. His maternal grandparent raised him up and in the way of the Catholic faith which he held tenaciously till date. Due to the sight problem and lack of finance and sponsorship, he dropped his education at the Secondary level and since then, has been struggling to survive as the burden on the grandparent is no longer easy to bear.
